196. Preparation for National Exams

"Ken!" call Weva who ran after Ken's departure.

Ken stopped his steps. He looked at Weva who was running towards him.

"First, yes Ken."

"Yes Ma" said Ken.

Both of them were silent staring at the car that was boarded by his parents drove away from the parking area. Weva smiled as she waved her hand as Laila waved her hand.

"But not home yet?"

"No. My bike, well I forgot it turns out my bike is on the side of the road."

"Kok on the side of the road?"

"Break it out."

Weva. He bowed while squeezing his hands.

"Ken, Weva would like to thank you."

Ken laughed a little.

"Thank you for what else, anyway?"

"Well, because Ken is"

"Yes!" calling someone made Weva and Ken turn to look at Brilyan who was running towards the two of them.

"Brelyan?"

Brilyan stopped his running. His chest was seen going up and down to regulate his congested breathing after running.

"I want to talk to you about something."

"W-what?"

"Regarding the real you."

Hearing this made Weva bowed. I feel ashamed for lying to everyone.

"I didn't think you were Weva, the fat girl who came every morning to my class to bring me fried rice."

"I want to apologize because all this time I've made you sad. I also didn't expect that you could be beautiful like this."

"Eh, Weva!"

"yeah?" sahut Weva who quickly looked up.

"I want to keep my promise first."

"Ja-promise?"

Brilyan smiled shyly then nodded.

"I used to say, it's the same to you that I would chase after you if you were perfect and now you've become perfect for me."

Brilyan grabbed Weva's hand and clasped her to the surprise of Weva. He never imagined this would happen to him. For the first time Brilyan touched his ladder fingers like this.

Ken shifted his eyes. Both of his lips opened trying to help his respiratory senses to breathe. His chest immediately felt tight after seeing them holding hands.

Brilyan stared at Weva's hand for a moment and looked back at Weva who had been silent since.

"I'm going after you, Wev!"

Weva remained silent. He doesn't even know what to say.

"You want to, don't you want me to go after it?"

Weva who has since put on a flat face is now smiling thinly. He raised his hand and pushed Brilyan's hand out of his hand slowly making the hopeful man frown in confusion.

"Please! Weva does not prohibit. That's Brilyan's will."

Brilyan smiled. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes long enough for him to look back at Weva.

"I'm going to take you to dinner at the restaurant at 9 p.m. You want to not?"

"When?"

"Sunday night? You want?"

Weva was silent for a moment making Brilyan look with a pair of curious faces.

"I don't think Weva could have had a problem after this we will have a national exam and Weva wants to focus on studying first."

"After the test and the results are there later dinner we will discuss again."

Brilyan let out a long breath. He folded his lips inward and nodded in agreement.

"good. I agree then I'll go first, yeah."

Weva nodded making Brilyan turn and step away leaving Weva staring at Brilyan's departure.

"Em, Ken, Weva-"

Weva stopped his speech after he turned around and found Ken who was not in his place. Weva turned left and right trying to find Ken who was no longer visible.

Weva breathed. His face was suddenly sad. Both eyes are slipping. He wished Ken was still behind him as he spoke with Brilyan but Ken had already left him.

"Why did Weva feel that Ken was so far away from Weva?" ask in the middle of silence.

...***...

In a guest room right in the residence Ina seen two creatures who were cool sitting on a floor while occasionally flipping paper on a book in the form of a grid of national exam questions that they will face later.

Wiwi pressed the tip of the pen against his forehead. His gaze was seen staring confusedly at the book that had not been bored to be stared at.

The two looked so serious about studying every piece of material to face a computer-based national exam. Weva occasionally explained some material that Wiwi had not been able to understand making the girl with a slightly thin body that looked like a sign of understanding.

Aunt Ina put two glasses of warm tea on the table making Weva look up and throw a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Either. Spirit, yes learn it so easy to answer the problem and the results are good."

Weva nodded making Ina step back into the kitchen making the two girls refocus to study.

...***...

In a different place also looks busy. The atmosphere is quiet and only accompanied by a clockwork tick that shows the time.

Laila opened the room door. He stood on the lip of the door with a smile staring at his son who looked serious studying. He had scratched his head when the lesson was difficult for him to understand.

"Ken!"

Ken turned his head when someone touched his shoulder. The beautiful face of the mother looks beautiful like the sun even more when she smiles.

"Difficult?"

Ken breathed heavily as if to tell his mother that this was difficult.

"Not really, Ma."

"Not really, but his breath is long."

Laila rubbed her son's hair which is now only able to be supported by the owner.

"It's warm milk for Ken."

Laila put a glass of milk on the table making Ken glance and look up again looking at Laila.

"Good thanks, Ma."

"Sama-sama Keken's. Love, love learning! If Ken doesn't understand then ask the Father."

Ken nodded making Laila land a kiss on her son's fragrant hair. He stepped out of the room and closed the door tightly leaving Ken still focused on learning.

...***...

Brilyan stared at Johan's departure from his room after a few minutes of threatening him. Again and again he told Brilyan to study harder so that he got the highest grade in school.

That silent atmosphere made Brilyan secretly shed tears. Her Papa's footsteps were no longer heard indicating that the man had truly left.

Brilyan deflected his sitting position. He grabbed the pen from the pencil and was ready to write intending to summarize and memorize it.

Brilyan opened the book, staring one by one the matter made his gritted lips shake. His jaw stiffened making his body tremble. The fingers of his hand clutched the pen so tightly that it unconsciously broke the pen into two pieces.

Brilyan shifted all the objects on the table making what he was sliding firmly slammed onto the floor.

Brilyan leaned to the floor right above the scattered items while squeezing his head making the neatly arranged hair messy.

"Yeah!!!" shouted Brilyan.

His neck strained out anger. His eyes were reddened with tears. Tired up! He was so tired of facing all this. Learning, learning and learning it feels like there is no more activity that he can do besides learning.

Tired up! Brilyan was tired. He grabbed her hair and hit the floor hard. He sat on the floor, put his folded knee on his chest and rubbed his wet face firmly.

I think he's crazy! Crazy due to pressure and load. It is torturous and really tormenting him.
